Cereal Alchemy
The perfect bowl of cereal in the morning is the way I start most of my days (I occasionally try to pretend like I’m healthy, and I eat oatmeal instead). And at any given time, I’d say I usually have 3-6 boxes of different cereals for optimal Cereal Alchemy. What’s your favorite combination? I love to stick something heavy, like Frosted Mini-wheats on the bottom to soak up some milk, while I have something more sugar-punchy on top, like Cocoa Pebbles or Smacks, and for a better balance, I try to throw in something like puffed wheat or other more generic flavored cereal. But of course I get bored easily and I cycle out my cereal boxes more often than any other food I eat!
And if you couldn’t read my cereal titles in the first panel, and cause I wasted such time thinking of them, they are – “Jackelhare’s Tricky Bites for Children,” “Straw-stack Tufts,” “Sir Capt. C. Crunch’s Pillowy Crunches,” “Checkered Squares,” “Samson’s Fruit Circles,” “Ye Olde Flakes,” “Lunatic Bird’s Chocolate Balls,” “Sweetened Turnabout Rounds,” and “Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler’s Fibrous Ones” (’cause only someone as terrible as CMOT Dibbler could create a cereal as horrible as Fiber One).

The nerd in me is screaming to find out what chemical structure is depicted on the Erlenmeyer in panel 3. I’m a dork.

It’s lactose… I knew if I didn’t do it right, Mike would probably kill me (he’s all phd sciencey dorky too). Mike are you reading this now too? It’s LACTOSE!

This idea never occurred to me, but it is the BEST IDEA EVER.

So…you killed a ninja turtle in order to cook up your cereal recipe? Or is that the secret ingredient?

No, I totally killed Foley!

Life+something with fake fruit flavor (like pebbles or fruit loops). The life tones down the sweet.
Usually I just have toast, though.
